16:39:45 ozbf I wsh you'd update the master ip address in the ini file.
16:40:47 ozbf You have to restart bitifighter or wait a minute or two for it to get to the new server.
16:42:23 ozbf I guess config.cpp has to be changed to reflect this?
16:43:01 ozbf line 256?
16:45:38 ozbf it only happens on first time startup but it will discourage people from playing. they might give up at that point and uninstall.

17:08:54 raptor has joined
17:08:54 ChanServ sets mode +o
17:09:14 raptor good day
17:09:28 raptor ozbf: did the master IP change again?
17:10:16 raptor if the IP goes bad, it will cycle through the list in the INI, it should save the new one as the first to try
17:11:41 ozbf No it didn't. I just did the upgrade from 19 to 19a and it overwrote the ini file
17:12:08 raptor it should update the INI, not overwrite
17:12:25 ozbf I a motivated player knows that from reading the forums but a new person will not........
17:12:28 raptor unless your using a different INI, or are using the standalone build
17:13:00 ozbf ok maybe it updated the ini to the old bad settings.
17:13:26 ozbf it works now that's not the problem just thinking of the newbies - it's such a simple fix as well. Just reverse the hosts.
17:16:29 raptor i do fresh installs all the time and I haven't noticed it...  but I will check
17:18:18 ozbf eh?
17:18:34 ozbf Hmm that's strange then.
17:22:27 ozbf Ok i did a clean install and it worked fast for me.
17:26:04 bobdaduck has joined
17:27:05 ozbf but that config.cpp line 256 still has the old now wrong  ip.
17:27:52 raptor config.cpp?
17:28:08 raptor ah, well....   ok, maybe it makes sense to not hard code an IP there anymore
17:28:36 ozbf Not sure why it reset to that on my installation.
17:28:50 ozbf it was updated from 19.
17:31:08 raptor what is the IP that says now?
17:31:15 raptor because the one I have matches the real one
17:31:24 raptor and it's at the end of the list
17:32:34 ozbf I uninstalled and then downloaed 19a
17:32:46 ozbf and deleted appdata bitfighter directory
17:33:05 ozbf appdata/roaming/bitfighter and it works fast.
17:33:11 raptor ok
17:33:46 raptor my guess is that you had the old IP address in your INI and it came up again somehow
17:36:39 ozbf oh and it has been updated. I found an old version of config.cpp
17:36:42 ozbf using google.
17:37:52 raptor ok
17:39:09 ozbf Sorry for the bother. Don't know what happened but glad it only applied to me or a small number of people.
17:54:18 ozbf what's this download recorded game?
17:54:43 ozbf only on sams test 2?
17:55:04 raptor good question - i'm not sure it works, it's experimental
17:55:24 raptor you can record games that you host (in 019a)
17:55:41 raptor I guess sam686 added a download feature to get it from a remote server

19:43:49 Skybax Herro
19:44:29 Skybax Hey fordcars, since 019a introduced that new lua thing that has to do with the game ending, does that mean Skybot can respond to a gameEnd event?
19:44:51 fordcars It came out?
19:45:28 Skybax What did?
19:45:34 fordcars The new event?
19:45:47 raptor nobody reads the release notes!
19:45:53 fordcars I don't see it in the LuaDocs...
19:46:05 fordcars Cool though-> onShipKilled(Ship ship, BfObject damagingObject, BfObject shooter)
19:46:18 raptor http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/group___event_enum.html
19:46:22 fordcars We'll be able to get who killed who now :)
19:46:24 raptor Event.GameOver
19:46:28 Skybax In the 019a changelog, it says an addition to it was Lua API: new Event.GameOver
19:46:39 fordcars Oh hahaha didn't see it
19:46:43 raptor yay Skybax!  someone reads!
19:46:45 fordcars Ok, updating :)
19:46:49 Skybax Yay!
19:47:47 Skybax So both the game over thing and the "when killing.." will work now?
19:48:00 raptor for the most part, I think yes
19:48:06 Skybax Awesome :D
19:48:50 raptor there is one case of killing that will not work, and there is little I can do about it -
19:49:07 Skybax Which case?
19:49:30 raptor if you shoot a burst, then someone kills you before the burst kills someone else
19:49:33 raptor or a seeker
19:49:55 raptor or any bullet - basically if you die before the shot kills a targetted ship, then that ship does not know who killed it
19:50:34 Skybax Ahkay
19:50:40 Skybax That's pretty rare tho
19:50:45 raptor yeah
19:51:15 Skybax So rare it could even be a badge.. "Death from the grave"
19:51:15 raptor there may be a way around it, but I couldn't do much in the code without a large refacter - and I didn't want to do that right before a release
19:51:20 raptor haha
19:51:32 raptor i can see how it could happen easier with seekers
19:51:40 Skybax Yeah seekers would be easy
19:51:42 raptor since they have an 8 second lifetime or something
19:51:50 fordcars Bouncers too
19:51:56 Skybax True
19:52:19 raptor i think bouncers are 1.5 to 3 seconds
19:52:24 raptor depending on how much they bounce
19:52:32 Skybax Btw rap have you gotten a chance to look at my ranks suggestion yet? Sorry if I'm bugging you about it I'm just excited about it x)
19:53:01 raptor aww stink - I have not...  I've been sort of taking this week off since watusmoto and his whip aren't around  :)
19:53:13 Skybax Haha nice
19:53:49 Flynnn has joined
20:01:42 Skybax Well it would be awesome if you did, cause I'd really like your feedback on it
20:02:40 raptor yes, I will get to it - but based on its size it will require some attention that don't have at the moment :)
20:03:10 fordcars raptor, shipKilled has BfObject as the third argument as the "shooter", but what is it?
20:03:26 raptor a BfObject
20:03:39 fordcars Ship isn't a BfObject?
20:03:42 raptor so either a 'Ship' or a 'Turret'
20:03:45 raptor it is
20:04:00 fordcars Oh ok
20:04:04 fordcars It's an "item"
20:04:05 raptor or nil
20:04:24 raptor maybe...  I don't remember the hierarchy, but i know it's a BfObject
20:04:34 raptor and probably only 'Ship' or 'Turret' at the moment
20:04:40 fordcars Ok cool
20:04:42 fordcars Thanks
20:04:51 raptor damagingObject can be things like a Burst, Seeker, Asteroid
20:05:08 fordcars Ahh ok
20:08:33 fordcars But how can I get the BfObject's PlayerInfo?
20:08:51 fordcars getOwner()?
20:08:55 raptor if the shooter is a ship, then you can get it from that
20:09:21 fordcars Ah ok I thought it was only for projectiles
20:09:34 raptor damagingObject would be the projectile
20:10:13 raptor I suppose you can getOwner on the projectiles, yes
20:10:22 fordcars Okokokok
20:10:34 raptor but if the damagingObject is an asteroid, it won't have the getOwner() method
20:11:04 raptor probably the shortest route is:  if shooter is ship then ship:getPlayerInfo()
20:11:22 fordcars I can do that?
20:11:29 fordcars On BfObject?
20:11:48 raptor if shooter:getObjType() == ObjType.Ship
20:11:58 raptor you can always test the object type
20:12:23 fordcars Yes, I did that, but I can do shooter:getPlayerInfo()?
20:12:40 raptor only if it it's ObjType.Ship, yes
20:12:44 fordcars Ah okokk
20:13:01 fordcars It's not in http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/class_bf_object.html
20:13:22 raptor nope, but if you test the type, you can use anything in that sub-class
20:13:31 fordcars Ahh sweet
20:13:35 raptor which is kind of neat
20:19:35 Nothing_Much Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
20:35:09 fordcars Ok, your bot should be officially done, Skybax
20:35:16 fordcars Test time!
20:35:30 raptor *never* say 'done' before 'test time'
20:36:18 Skybax Hahaha
20:36:38 fordcars I know :3
20:36:49 Skybax Are you testing it now?
20:36:55 fordcars "Something that isn't tested, is broken"
20:37:02 fordcars Yeah
20:37:09 fordcars You know, removing typos
20:37:14 Skybax Heh
20:40:05 kaen hi all
20:40:08 fordcars Hi
20:43:24 fordcars raptor, the event doesn't fire at all :O
20:43:32 fordcars "Something that isn't tested, is broken"
20:43:39 fordcars ;)
20:43:45 raptor fordcars: what event
20:43:50 fordcars onSHipKilled
20:44:01 raptor are you subscribed?
20:44:04 fordcars Yes
20:44:08 fordcars I think so
20:44:15 fordcars subscribe(Event.ShipKilledEvent)
20:44:16 raptor verify
20:44:25 raptor bf:subscribe
20:44:33 raptor let me verify...
20:44:52 fordcars It works without it with some helper functions I think
20:44:57 raptor ah yes, ok
20:45:08 raptor Event.ShipKilled
20:45:15 fordcars Oh
20:45:28 fordcars Oh haha sorry
20:45:33 raptor try that
20:45:38 fordcars Isn't Lua supposed to warn me though?
20:46:00 raptor that may be a good idea - can you open a bug that says:  warn of improper event subscriptions
20:46:16 fordcars Yep it works
20:46:20 raptor yay
20:46:32 fordcars Thanks :P
20:47:10 raptor hi kaen
20:47:12 raptor how goes it?
20:47:37 kaen pretty good :)
20:47:48 raptor making headway in your new job?
20:47:49 kaen sounds like I'm going to GDC in March
20:47:50 fordcars !bugs
20:47:50 BFLogBot To enter a bug: http://tinyurl.com/bfnewbug -- To view all bugs: http://tinyurl.com/bfbugs
20:47:58 kaen yep, learning tons and tons of stuff
20:48:11 kaen when I get done I think I'll know enough to work on the android BF port
20:48:12 raptor did you brick your tablet?  :)
20:48:16 kaen nope
20:48:18 kaen oh!
20:48:21 kaen funny story though
20:48:29 kaen so I had to do that manual update as you know
20:48:46 kaen and I was like super nervous the entire time
20:48:48 raptor yes
20:49:11 kaen so I threw in the SD card, watched the little progress bar tick perilously along
20:49:16 kaen and when it completed and booted up
20:49:20 kaen everything was fine except
20:49:33 kaen the entire screen was rendered at 180 degree rotation
20:49:40 raptor ha!
20:49:45 raptor i think i've seen that...
20:50:08 kaen and it's weird because input corresponds with the real screen position
20:50:27 kaen so when you go to click on something, you have to click the opposite side of the screen
20:50:37 kaen but other than that, everything's great
20:50:50 kaen had I small demo to management yesterday and they're happy with the progress
20:50:55 kaen I had a*
20:51:14 raptor ha, good
20:51:30 raptor do you do a video conference with them?
20:51:54 kaen I do one on one skype calls mostly
20:52:01 raptor ok cool
20:52:39 kaen it's a lot different than stocking shelves, for sure
20:54:01 fordcars Alright! Your bot is done Skybax, but what do we do about Energy Items?
20:54:17 Skybax Why do they love them so much? xD
20:54:48 Skybax Can you make it so they only try to get one if there are no enemies around?
20:54:49 fordcars Everybody loves them!
20:55:00 fordcars Ok, I'll try
20:58:49 fordcars Ahh that was easy
20:58:51 fordcars Done!
20:58:59 raptor test time?
20:59:08 fordcars Yep
20:59:20 fordcars I already did :D
20:59:46 fordcars I guess I would have to get sky_lark and Footloose to get zapped by it :P
21:00:50 Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
21:01:07 raptor haven't seen footloose in a while...
21:01:33 fordcars Me neither :X
21:01:41 fordcars We need a BBB at some point
21:01:54 fordcars Well, we have the secret party coming up
21:02:01 fordcars Whatever it is
21:03:03 Skybax So it recognizes names now?
21:04:26 fordcars Yep
21:04:30 Skybax Yay
21:04:34 fordcars All of your specifications :)
21:04:40 Skybax Woo!
21:04:49 Skybax Thanks!
21:05:02 fordcars So, by credit card or in cash?
21:05:13 fordcars SIKE
21:05:17 Skybax Hahaha
21:05:26 fordcars Ok, so, I'll put it on forums
21:05:29 fordcars Well, update it
21:05:30 Skybax Otay
21:05:34 fordcars Ota
21:05:49 Skybax Kotawa
21:07:39 Flynnn has joined
21:08:05 fordcars Watoka
21:09:14 fordcars By the way it recognizes his name even if he has a .0 etc if there is more than one bot :)
21:09:48 fordcars Oh wait
21:10:01 Skybax ?
21:10:16 fordcars Haha I just thought of something, I added useless code earlier
21:10:59 raptor we fixed that!
21:11:02 raptor (I think)
21:12:35 fordcars What do you mean?
21:13:19 fordcars I had wrote if(botName==shooterName or string.find(botName .. ".", shooterName)
21:13:34 fordcars But that just didn't work well with more than one bot obviously
21:13:54 fordcars But botName includes the .0 etc, so it's good now
21:18:29 fordcars Ok, it's all good, now it will only respond when it's his name
21:26:46 raptor ahhh,, this was an enhancment to skybot
21:26:53 Skybax Yes
21:34:22 Skybax Skybot doesn't say anything if he dies by turret
21:35:08 Skybax Ohhhh that's a big glitch
21:35:15 Skybax Whenever he uses cloak he also uses shield
21:35:19 Skybax Drains his energy super fast
21:35:35 Skybax fordcars
21:36:54 Skybax He's also not saying the right thing when he kills me x)
21:38:15 Nothing_Much has joined
21:46:17 fordcars What?? What does he say?
21:47:14 fordcars By the way, You didn't tell me to make the bot say something when he dies by turret, so I didn't add it :P But I think it would kindof heavy in the chat
21:49:04 Skybax Oh, I thought it was just supposed to be "on death" messages, not only when he dies by another ship
21:49:06 Skybax But okay
21:49:09 Skybax You're probably right
21:49:40 Skybax He's supposed to say something about suicide whenever he zaps me, but he just does his normal "Booyah!" or whatever stuff
21:50:00 fordcars Whoa sorry
21:50:10 fordcars I thought the Suicide thing was when he killed himself
21:50:16 fordcars Logically :P
21:50:34 Skybax Well that could work too lol but it was supposed to be whenever he kills me (cause we're supposed to be the same and stuff)
21:50:41 fordcars Right
21:51:24 Skybax How would he ever even kill himself? He only uses phaser and triple..
21:51:35 Skybax Unless you're talking about when he zaps another Skybot
21:52:49 fordcars Ahh right
21:52:55 fordcars Ok, updating, again :P
21:53:07 Skybax Did you catch what I said about using shield and cloak at the same time?
21:53:13 fordcars Yeah
21:53:37 Skybax Okay
21:54:06 fordcars Ok, updated a few things, can you come to test it? You have your name
21:55:54 Skybax Shuh
21:56:10 Skybax I tried to join but your server closed lol
21:56:15 fordcars Oh sorry :P
22:02:42 Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
22:04:21 fordcars Ok done
22:04:52 Skybax Woop
22:05:16 Skybax lol sam686 has a broken version on Skybot on his server xD
22:05:24 Skybax He just sits there and shields
22:05:41 Skybax And if you say anything over 20 characters he says "Indeed.asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf"

22:28:57 fordcars I have to say that code is some of the most complex branching I have ever done
22:32:52 fordcars We are good Skybax!!
22:33:02 Skybax Hooray!
22:33:23 Skybax Do you want me to test it?
22:33:55 fordcars Hosting :P
22:34:04 fordcars Ok
22:53:16 Nothing_Much has joined
23:02:11 bobdaduck Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
23:16:55 fordcars raptor, the bot uses findAllObjects() to find enemies, so it sees them when they are clocked, which is fine, but fireAtObject doesn't work, and I don't know why. It fires, but doesn't do anything
23:17:12 fordcars *fires in the code
23:17:27 raptor and it's similar to s_bot?
23:17:33 fordcars Yes
23:17:40 raptor it could be that a filter in fireAtObject is preventing it from firing
23:17:50 raptor i'm not really familiar with that code
23:17:55 fordcars I thought so, but I didn't see one
23:18:01 fordcars It only check for teams
23:18:36 fordcars Maybe it is getFiringSolution(obj)
23:18:38 fordcars That fails
23:18:57 fordcars I'll check
23:19:44 fordcars Ahh yes
23:19:47 fordcars That fails
23:20:07 fordcars That's annoying

16:39:45	ozbf	I wsh you'd update the master ip address in the ini file.
16:40:47	ozbf	You have to restart bitifighter or wait a minute or two for it to get to the new server.
16:42:23	ozbf	I guess config.cpp has to be changed to reflect this?
16:43:01	ozbf	line 256?
16:45:38	ozbf	it only happens on first time startup but it will discourage people from playing. they might give up at that point and uninstall.

17:08:54		ChanServ sets mode +o
17:09:14	raptor	good day
17:09:28	raptor	ozbf: did the master IP change again?
17:10:16	raptor	if the IP goes bad, it will cycle through the list in the INI, it should save the new one as the first to try
17:11:41	ozbf	No it didn't. I just did the upgrade from 19 to 19a and it overwrote the ini file
17:12:08	raptor	it should update the INI, not overwrite
17:12:25	ozbf	I a motivated player knows that from reading the forums but a new person will not........
17:12:28	raptor	unless your using a different INI, or are using the standalone build
17:13:00	ozbf	ok maybe it updated the ini to the old bad settings.
17:13:26	ozbf	it works now that's not the problem just thinking of the newbies - it's such a simple fix as well. Just reverse the hosts.
17:16:29	raptor	i do fresh installs all the time and I haven't noticed it... but I will check
17:18:18	ozbf	eh?
17:18:34	ozbf	Hmm that's strange then.
17:22:27	ozbf	Ok i did a clean install and it worked fast for me.
17:26:04		bobdaduck has joined
17:27:05	ozbf	but that config.cpp line 256 still has the old now wrong ip.
17:27:52	raptor	config.cpp?
17:28:08	raptor	ah, well.... ok, maybe it makes sense to not hard code an IP there anymore
17:28:36	ozbf	Not sure why it reset to that on my installation.
17:28:50	ozbf	it was updated from 19.
17:31:08	raptor	what is the IP that says now?
17:31:15	raptor	because the one I have matches the real one
17:31:24	raptor	and it's at the end of the list
17:32:34	ozbf	I uninstalled and then downloaed 19a
17:32:46	ozbf	and deleted appdata bitfighter directory
17:33:05	ozbf	appdata/roaming/bitfighter and it works fast.
17:33:11	raptor	ok
17:33:46	raptor	my guess is that you had the old IP address in your INI and it came up again somehow
17:36:39	ozbf	oh and it has been updated. I found an old version of config.cpp
17:36:42	ozbf	using google.
17:37:52	raptor	ok
17:39:09	ozbf	Sorry for the bother. Don't know what happened but glad it only applied to me or a small number of people.
17:54:18	ozbf	what's this download recorded game?
17:54:43	ozbf	only on sams test 2?
17:55:04	raptor	good question - i'm not sure it works, it's experimental
17:55:24	raptor	you can record games that you host (in 019a)
17:55:41	raptor	I guess sam686 added a download feature to get it from a remote server

19:43:33		Skybax has joined
19:43:49	Skybax	Herro
19:44:29	Skybax	Hey fordcars, since 019a introduced that new lua thing that has to do with the game ending, does that mean Skybot can respond to a gameEnd event?
19:44:51	fordcars	It came out?
19:45:28	Skybax	What did?
19:45:34	fordcars	The new event?
19:45:47	raptor	nobody reads the release notes!
19:45:53	fordcars	I don't see it in the LuaDocs...
19:46:05	fordcars	Cool though-> onShipKilled(Ship ship, BfObject damagingObject, BfObject shooter)
19:46:18	raptor	http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/group___event_enum.html
19:46:22	fordcars	We'll be able to get who killed who now :)
19:46:24	raptor	Event.GameOver
19:46:28	Skybax	In the 019a changelog, it says an addition to it was Lua API: new Event.GameOver
19:46:39	fordcars	Oh hahaha didn't see it
19:46:43	raptor	yay Skybax! someone reads!
19:46:45	fordcars	Ok, updating :)
19:46:49	Skybax	Yay!
19:47:47	Skybax	So both the game over thing and the "when killing.." will work now?
19:48:00	raptor	for the most part, I think yes
19:48:06	Skybax	Awesome :D
19:48:50	raptor	there is one case of killing that will not work, and there is little I can do about it -
19:49:07	Skybax	Which case?
19:49:30	raptor	if you shoot a burst, then someone kills you before the burst kills someone else
19:49:33	raptor	or a seeker
19:49:55	raptor	or any bullet - basically if you die before the shot kills a targetted ship, then that ship does not know who killed it
19:50:34	Skybax	Ahkay
19:50:40	Skybax	That's pretty rare tho
19:50:45	raptor	yeah
19:51:15	Skybax	So rare it could even be a badge.. "Death from the grave"
19:51:15	raptor	there may be a way around it, but I couldn't do much in the code without a large refacter - and I didn't want to do that right before a release
19:51:20	raptor	haha
19:51:32	raptor	i can see how it could happen easier with seekers
19:51:40	Skybax	Yeah seekers would be easy
19:51:42	raptor	since they have an 8 second lifetime or something
19:51:50	fordcars	Bouncers too
19:51:56	Skybax	True
19:52:19	raptor	i think bouncers are 1.5 to 3 seconds
19:52:24	raptor	depending on how much they bounce
19:52:32	Skybax	Btw rap have you gotten a chance to look at my ranks suggestion yet? Sorry if I'm bugging you about it I'm just excited about it x)
19:53:01	raptor	aww stink - I have not... I've been sort of taking this week off since watusmoto and his whip aren't around :)
19:53:13	Skybax	Haha nice
19:53:49		Flynnn has joined
20:01:42	Skybax	Well it would be awesome if you did, cause I'd really like your feedback on it
20:02:40	raptor	yes, I will get to it - but based on its size it will require some attention that don't have at the moment :)
20:03:10	fordcars	raptor, shipKilled has BfObject as the third argument as the "shooter", but what is it?
20:03:26	raptor	a BfObject
20:03:39	fordcars	Ship isn't a BfObject?
20:03:42	raptor	so either a 'Ship' or a 'Turret'
20:03:45	raptor	it is
20:04:00	fordcars	Oh ok
20:04:04	fordcars	It's an "item"
20:04:05	raptor	or nil
20:04:24	raptor	maybe... I don't remember the hierarchy, but i know it's a BfObject
20:04:34	raptor	and probably only 'Ship' or 'Turret' at the moment
20:04:40	fordcars	Ok cool
20:04:42	fordcars	Thanks
20:04:51	raptor	damagingObject can be things like a Burst, Seeker, Asteroid
20:05:08	fordcars	Ahh ok
20:08:33	fordcars	But how can I get the BfObject's PlayerInfo?
20:08:51	fordcars	getOwner()?
20:08:55	raptor	if the shooter is a ship, then you can get it from that
20:09:21	fordcars	Ah ok I thought it was only for projectiles
20:09:34	raptor	damagingObject would be the projectile
20:10:13	raptor	I suppose you can getOwner on the projectiles, yes
20:10:22	fordcars	Okokokok
20:10:34	raptor	but if the damagingObject is an asteroid, it won't have the getOwner() method
20:11:04	raptor	probably the shortest route is: if shooter is ship then ship:getPlayerInfo()
20:11:22	fordcars	I can do that?
20:11:29	fordcars	On BfObject?
20:11:48	raptor	if shooter:getObjType() == ObjType.Ship
20:11:58	raptor	you can always test the object type
20:12:23	fordcars	Yes, I did that, but I can do shooter:getPlayerInfo()?
20:12:40	raptor	only if it it's ObjType.Ship, yes
20:12:44	fordcars	Ah okokk
20:13:01	fordcars	It's not in http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/class_bf_object.html
20:13:22	raptor	nope, but if you test the type, you can use anything in that sub-class
20:13:31	fordcars	Ahh sweet
20:13:35	raptor	which is kind of neat
20:19:35		Nothing_Much Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
20:35:09	fordcars	Ok, your bot should be officially done, Skybax
20:35:16	fordcars	Test time!
20:35:30	raptor	never say 'done' before 'test time'
20:36:18	Skybax	Hahaha
20:36:38	fordcars	I know :3
20:36:49	Skybax	Are you testing it now?
20:36:55	fordcars	"Something that isn't tested, is broken"
20:37:02	fordcars	Yeah
20:37:09	fordcars	You know, removing typos
20:37:14	Skybax	Heh
20:40:05	kaen	hi all
20:40:08	fordcars	Hi
20:43:24	fordcars	raptor, the event doesn't fire at all :O
20:43:32	fordcars	"Something that isn't tested, is broken"
20:43:39	fordcars	;)
20:43:45	raptor	fordcars: what event
20:43:50	fordcars	onSHipKilled
20:44:01	raptor	are you subscribed?
20:44:04	fordcars	Yes
20:44:08	fordcars	I think so
20:44:15	fordcars	subscribe(Event.ShipKilledEvent)
20:44:16	raptor	verify
20:44:25	raptor	bf:subscribe
20:44:33	raptor	let me verify...
20:44:52	fordcars	It works without it with some helper functions I think
20:44:57	raptor	ah yes, ok
20:45:08	raptor	Event.ShipKilled
20:45:15	fordcars	Oh
20:45:28	fordcars	Oh haha sorry
20:45:33	raptor	try that
20:45:38	fordcars	Isn't Lua supposed to warn me though?
20:46:00	raptor	that may be a good idea - can you open a bug that says: warn of improper event subscriptions
20:46:16	fordcars	Yep it works
20:46:20	raptor	yay
20:46:32	fordcars	Thanks :P
20:47:10	raptor	hi kaen
20:47:12	raptor	how goes it?
20:47:37	kaen	pretty good :)
20:47:48	raptor	making headway in your new job?
20:47:49	kaen	sounds like I'm going to GDC in March
20:47:50	fordcars	!bugs
20:47:50	BFLogBot	To enter a bug: http://tinyurl.com/bfnewbug -- To view all bugs: http://tinyurl.com/bfbugs
20:47:58	kaen	yep, learning tons and tons of stuff
20:48:11	kaen	when I get done I think I'll know enough to work on the android BF port
20:48:12	raptor	did you brick your tablet? :)
20:48:16	kaen	nope
20:48:18	kaen	oh!
20:48:21	kaen	funny story though
20:48:29	kaen	so I had to do that manual update as you know
20:48:46	kaen	and I was like super nervous the entire time
20:48:48	raptor	yes
20:49:11	kaen	so I threw in the SD card, watched the little progress bar tick perilously along
20:49:16	kaen	and when it completed and booted up
20:49:20	kaen	everything was fine except
20:49:33	kaen	the entire screen was rendered at 180 degree rotation
20:49:40	raptor	ha!
20:49:45	raptor	i think i've seen that...
20:50:08	kaen	and it's weird because input corresponds with the real screen position
20:50:27	kaen	so when you go to click on something, you have to click the opposite side of the screen
20:50:37	kaen	but other than that, everything's great
20:50:50	kaen	had I small demo to management yesterday and they're happy with the progress
20:50:55	kaen	I had a*
20:51:14	raptor	ha, good
20:51:30	raptor	do you do a video conference with them?
20:51:54	kaen	I do one on one skype calls mostly
20:52:01	raptor	ok cool
20:52:39	kaen	it's a lot different than stocking shelves, for sure
20:54:01	fordcars	Alright! Your bot is done Skybax, but what do we do about Energy Items?
20:54:17	Skybax	Why do they love them so much? xD
20:54:48	Skybax	Can you make it so they only try to get one if there are no enemies around?
20:54:49	fordcars	Everybody loves them!
20:55:00	fordcars	Ok, I'll try
20:58:49	fordcars	Ahh that was easy
20:58:51	fordcars	Done!
20:58:59	raptor	test time?
20:59:08	fordcars	Yep
20:59:20	fordcars	I already did :D
20:59:46	fordcars	I guess I would have to get sky_lark and Footloose to get zapped by it :P
21:00:50		Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
21:01:07	raptor	haven't seen footloose in a while...
21:01:33	fordcars	Me neither :X
21:01:41	fordcars	We need a BBB at some point
21:01:54	fordcars	Well, we have the secret party coming up
21:02:01	fordcars	Whatever it is
21:03:03	Skybax	So it recognizes names now?
21:04:26	fordcars	Yep
21:04:30	Skybax	Yay
21:04:34	fordcars	All of your specifications :)
21:04:40	Skybax	Woo!
21:04:49	Skybax	Thanks!
21:05:02	fordcars	So, by credit card or in cash?
21:05:13	fordcars	SIKE
21:05:17	Skybax	Hahaha
21:05:26	fordcars	Ok, so, I'll put it on forums
21:05:29	fordcars	Well, update it
21:05:30	Skybax	Otay
21:05:34	fordcars	Ota
21:05:49	Skybax	Kotawa
21:07:39		Flynnn has joined
21:08:05	fordcars	Watoka
21:09:14	fordcars	By the way it recognizes his name even if he has a .0 etc if there is more than one bot :)
21:09:48	fordcars	Oh wait
21:10:01	Skybax	?
21:10:16	fordcars	Haha I just thought of something, I added useless code earlier
21:10:59	raptor	we fixed that!
21:11:02	raptor	(I think)
21:12:35	fordcars	What do you mean?
21:13:19	fordcars	I had wrote if(botName==shooterName or string.find(botName .. ".", shooterName)
21:13:34	fordcars	But that just didn't work well with more than one bot obviously
21:13:54	fordcars	But botName includes the .0 etc, so it's good now
21:18:29	fordcars	Ok, it's all good, now it will only respond when it's his name
21:26:46	raptor	ahhh,, this was an enhancment to skybot
21:26:53	Skybax	Yes
21:34:22	Skybax	Skybot doesn't say anything if he dies by turret
21:35:08	Skybax	Ohhhh that's a big glitch
21:35:15	Skybax	Whenever he uses cloak he also uses shield
21:35:19	Skybax	Drains his energy super fast
21:35:35	Skybax	fordcars
21:36:54	Skybax	He's also not saying the right thing when he kills me x)
21:38:15		Nothing_Much has joined
21:46:17	fordcars	What?? What does he say?
21:47:14	fordcars	By the way, You didn't tell me to make the bot say something when he dies by turret, so I didn't add it :P But I think it would kindof heavy in the chat
21:49:04	Skybax	Oh, I thought it was just supposed to be "on death" messages, not only when he dies by another ship
21:49:06	Skybax	But okay
21:49:09	Skybax	You're probably right
21:49:40	Skybax	He's supposed to say something about suicide whenever he zaps me, but he just does his normal "Booyah!" or whatever stuff
21:50:00	fordcars	Whoa sorry
21:50:10	fordcars	I thought the Suicide thing was when he killed himself
21:50:16	fordcars	Logically :P
21:50:34	Skybax	Well that could work too lol but it was supposed to be whenever he kills me (cause we're supposed to be the same and stuff)
21:50:41	fordcars	Right
21:51:24	Skybax	How would he ever even kill himself? He only uses phaser and triple..
21:51:35	Skybax	Unless you're talking about when he zaps another Skybot
21:52:49	fordcars	Ahh right
21:52:55	fordcars	Ok, updating, again :P
21:53:07	Skybax	Did you catch what I said about using shield and cloak at the same time?
21:53:13	fordcars	Yeah
21:53:37	Skybax	Okay
21:54:06	fordcars	Ok, updated a few things, can you come to test it? You have your name
21:55:54	Skybax	Shuh
21:56:10	Skybax	I tried to join but your server closed lol
21:56:15	fordcars	Oh sorry :P
22:02:42		Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
22:04:21	fordcars	Ok done
22:04:52	Skybax	Woop
22:05:16	Skybax	lol sam686 has a broken version on Skybot on his server xD
22:05:24	Skybax	He just sits there and shields
22:05:41	Skybax	And if you say anything over 20 characters he says "Indeed.asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf"

22:32:52	fordcars	We are good Skybax!!
22:33:02	Skybax	Hooray!
22:33:23	Skybax	Do you want me to test it?
22:33:55	fordcars	Hosting :P
22:34:04	fordcars	Ok

23:16:55	fordcars	raptor, the bot uses findAllObjects() to find enemies, so it sees them when they are clocked, which is fine, but fireAtObject doesn't work, and I don't know why. It fires, but doesn't do anything
23:17:12	fordcars	*fires in the code
23:17:27	raptor	and it's similar to s_bot?
23:17:33	fordcars	Yes
23:17:40	raptor	it could be that a filter in fireAtObject is preventing it from firing
23:17:50	raptor	i'm not really familiar with that code
23:17:55	fordcars	I thought so, but I didn't see one
23:18:01	fordcars	It only check for teams
23:18:36	fordcars	Maybe it is getFiringSolution(obj)
23:18:38	fordcars	That fails
23:18:57	fordcars	I'll check
23:19:44	fordcars	Ahh yes
23:19:47	fordcars	That fails
23:20:07	fordcars	That's annoying
